Missing lad in Tenerife
Discussion
Much as I'm enjoying all the online memes and tempering it with the knowledge that this lad has form for a violent crime which means he's probably no angel, my inner decent human being is concerned for his welfare, a mother is missing her son etc.
So much of it seems dodgy though. This 'Lucy Mae' girl has a travel itinerary on Instagram that would put Alan Whicker to shame
Her doing an interview with ITV but not to camera, and coming up with this GoFundMe for £30k (a large amount, with and unspecified justification) just smacks (no pun intended) of them trying to raise ransom cash.
Rumours online are that the likely scenario is that he's ripped off some drug dealers and they want their money back, she's done this in a naive attempt to raise that but not really appreciating that the spotlight of publicity needed to raise the money doesn't really facilitate a clandestine transfer of the cash to some shady underworld figures.
I'm sure the Spanish police know a lot more than they are letting on.

I don't get how "he has ripped off drug dealers and this is an attempt to raise ransom money" is a more obvious scenario than the lad has got smashed, gone back to a house for afters, not realised how far the house is away and has come a cropper in an unfamilar area" So much of it seems dodgy though.

I mean if the first one is true it will make a cracking netflix documentary.
People seem to think because he got involved in shenanighans when he was 16 and partakes in a bit of party powder that he is accringtons version of scarface

Oi Bradford has some nice areas. In fact Ilkley (pays council tax to Bradford) was the Sunday Times' best place to live winner. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-610372...
Going closer in to Bradford, Baildon and Saltaire are ok.

But he chose to snort more than he sold then lost the remainder, hence where all the speculation about the 30k being a ransom after all Lucy was the one who set the GFM up in the 1st place.
Now IF that is the case it shows how bright she is thinking a 30k GFM would not raise and suspicions then throw in his some what attractive past.
Why didn't he go back to the house where these 2 lads took him?
Why didn't he stay on the road??
His phone can ping anywhere it's been chucked doesn't mean he ll be with it,but all accounts he was wasted.
If its drugs amd the 30k Is for them does GFM do cheques or bank transfers.

I'm beginning to think it is more drug related than anything. Having spent a fair bit of time near the Mexican border it seems like people like Jay are slow learners. You may think you're a big fish when you're down at your local club - but if you cross the line and suddenly think you're the big man, guess again.
Comparing Mexico to Tenerife is like comparing Bradford to Baghdad. It's utterly ridiculous. What's more - even in Mexico cartels will go out of their way not to harm a tourist. And when it last happened the leaders of the cartel wrote a grovelling apology letter and handed over the fools who killed the two americans. There is a funny video of two American gay guys who got pulled over by a cartel after they got lost bird watching. The cartel members ended up having to calm them down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kcl9OPzLIU
Mexico is a brutal place in some regions and they will happily set up roadblocks and kill people. Very much a 'shoot first and ask questions later' attitude in some parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyBV81kVKVw&ab...

People are saying that Lucy is a drug mule because she goes to different places and lives a life where she likes to party, there is a big difference in shifiting a bit of powder your took into a festival and getting involved with people that would kidnap you.
2 things that are strange for me about the kidnap story.
1, his mate not showing her face on TV, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it where the friend being interviewed wants to remain anonymous. Bit weird.
2, the “ransom” being a nice round GBP figure of £30k. Surely it would be in Euros or whatever currency Moroccan gangsters use.
It’s an interesting one, hopefully we’ll find out the truth one day.

If they been hoping for a Netflix film deal it's already been done.
